It turned out to be Ruan Peiling!
The three of them hurried over. Ruan Peiling affectionately held Cheng Maixiang's hand with one hand and Yingying's hand with the other, and walked into the gate of the Provincial University with a smile.
The Provincial University was founded at the same time as the Beijing University, and has a history of seventy or eighty years. It is world-famous for its literature, history, architecture and journalism. It has experienced countless wars and many of its school buildings have been damaged. Most of the buildings were built later.
The black plaque at the school gate is engraved with four large gold-plated characters "Provincial Capital University" in a flamboyant style, which looks particularly ancient.
As soon as you enter the provincial university, there is a main road about three meters wide opposite the school gate. There is a wooden sign beside the road, which details the specific registration locations for each department.
There were a few students standing in front of the sign. They seemed to be old students who came to welcome the new students. Cheng Maixiang knew that most of them were workers, peasants and soldiers who were admitted through recommendation.
Cheng Maixiang was about to go over to see the registration address for the Chinese Department when Ruan Peiling immediately stopped her, pointed to a table to the west, and said to Lin Jiayu, who was following the three of them, "The Chinese Department is over there. Hurry up and register for Maizi."
Seeing that the registration table was surrounded by people in three layers, Lin Jiayu really didn't want his young wife to squeeze with these people, especially since most of them were boys, so he squeezed in without saying a word.
Cheng Maixiang didn't want to be squeezed into a meat pie by so many people. Seeing Lin Jiayu handling the paperwork for her, she was relieved. Seeing that Ruan Peiling was not in a hurry to register, she asked curiously, "Peiling, have you already completed the paperwork?"
"Of course. I knew there would be a ton of people on the day of the announcement, so I didn't want to join in the fun. Someone from my family came to take care of the paperwork for me yesterday."
Cheng Maixiang nodded, looked around, and took in the campus where she would live for four years.
At this moment, they were standing in the south of the campus, facing the school gate. To the north was a five-story building, and there was a building on each of the east and west sides. The entire campus was shaded by green trees and full of vitality.
"My two classmates, which department are you from?"
Cheng Maixiang turned around and saw that she and Ruan Peiling had been surrounded by people. Almost all of them were boys. A boy who looked quite handsome asked them politely.
"My two classmates, you are both freshmen, right? You look really young!"
Because of the times, the age range of this year's candidates was very wide, ranging from seventeen to over thirty years old. Some people even falsified their age in order to be able to take the college entrance examination.
Even so, it still cannot change the fact that the candidates this year are generally older. According to Cheng Maixiang's observation, more than 70% of those who come to report are over 20 years old, and some even come with their families. Fresh graduates should only account for a very small proportion.
Precisely because of the special circumstances this year, the school has made a special rule that married people with children can come to study if they meet the requirements, but unmarried students are not allowed to get married during their university years. Cheng Maixiang took advantage of this rule and married Lin Jiayu before reporting, otherwise she would have to wait another four years.
But whether in the past life or this life, universities can prohibit students from getting married and having children, but they will not prevent students from falling in love while they are in school. Many students who have been admitted to universities are willing to take this opportunity to find a college student as a partner. Now that they see two beautiful girls, they naturally will not let them go. Unexpectedly, Ruan Peiling is so straightforward and directly exposes the boys' little thoughts.
Ruan Peiling rolled her eyes at the group of boys who came to chat with her, "Sorry, we are both married, you can go find other girls to talk to."
Several boys were obviously disappointed, but they still had some hope. The boy who had just spoken said, "That's okay, let's be friends. I'm from the Department of Architecture..."
"Sorry, we haven't completed the registration procedures yet, so I won't tell you more."
Before the boy could say his name, Cheng Maixiang pulled Ruan Peiling to the other side of the road and ignored those who tried to chat her up.
This era is an era mixed with countless contradictions. If we talk about openness, the whole society is still bound by some traditional ideas. But if we talk about tradition, many people who are already married and have children go to university and give up their original marriages and families and find partners in university.
Ruan Peiling covered her mouth and smiled, "Maizi, there are always fewer girls than boys in college. Even if you're studying Chinese, there are more girls. But girls as young and beautiful as you, who dress so fashionably, are probably rare. I'm afraid you'll be targeted by more than one person in the future."
As usual, Cheng Maixiang wore clothes of her own design today. She wore a beige turtleneck sweater on the upper body, slim black trousers on the lower body, and a light blue windbreaker on the outside. Even in the most fashionable university campus, she was the most eye-catching one.
Seeing Ruan Peiling teasing her, Cheng Maixiang glared at her hatefully, "Stop gloating over my misfortune. You're no better than me. Besides, I'm married, and you're unmarried. You'll only have more troubles than me. You might not even have time to come to me."
Ruan Peiling smiled nonchalantly, then suddenly winked mischievously and said maliciously, "Maizi, are you two planning to surprise our provincial university together today?"
Cheng Maixiang followed her gaze and saw that Lin Jiayu, who had just squeezed out from the table, was surrounded by several girls.
Cheng Maixiang walked over unhappily, reached out and took Lin Jiayu's hand, and said with a smile, "Have you finished filling it out?"
Lin Jiayu rubbed her hair and smiled gently, "Everything is fine. The staff just asked me to take the registration form to the Finance Department to pay the textbook fee, and to collect the subsidy and food coupons on the way."
